pluralstories“If you're going to perform inception, you need imagination. You need the simplest version of the idea-the one that will grow naturally in the subject's mind. Subtle art.”
Blurb: A washed-up old dream thief pulls together a heist crew to pull off one last perfect crime: to break into a man's subconscious and, instead of stealing something, leave an idea behind. But what heist ever goes perfectly? And the thief in charge has his own inner demons...
Why is it worth your time?: As a heist movie with stunning visuals, this movie is very good. There's a reason it won a bunch of special effects awards and spawned such a big fandom. Keep your expectations to "great brain robbery" and you'll have a blast. As a deep look or explorations of dreams, self, and the psyche, it's much less satisfying than Paprika, which inspired this movie.
